Man muss schon fast sagen das "schon wieder" ein Update für alle Spiele erschienen ist die auf der Engine der Orangebox basieren. Aber, es ist natürlich toll zu sehen wie sehr sich Valve bemüht Probleme aus dem Weg zu räumen und ein gepflegtes Spiel ist meist ein gutes Spiel. Wie gewohnt wurde das Update bereits auf allen Windows-Gameservern installiert und kann entsprechend ab sofort auch im Linux-Webinterface per Knopfdruck auf "Spiel updaten" eingespielt werden.

Changelog:

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2)
- Fixed a crash on startup with some video drivers

- Fixed map cycling so that the cycle now starts from the map selected by the user instead of going back to the first map
- Fixed mp_restartgame so that it resets MVPs as well as score and deaths
- Removed fun fact from achievements summary screen and associated playerblotter functionality
- Throttled warning messages for disabled achievements to no more than once every 60 seconds
- Made the silhouette that appears when you hit AUTO-SELECT on the Terrorist choose a class screen fit within its borders
